Hey mods... do you consider this civil discourse ? Come on ! There are 2 of you active on the OP . When will this personal attack be addressed ? When I respond in kind ?Quote:
I love you loonies, but you guys are crazy, and completely out of step with reality! And don't expect an apology!!
It's a discussion board, the comment doesn't seem to be rude or disrespectful, is more tongue in cheek, but report it if you think it crosses the line. I'm in the thread so cannot action it.Quote:

I certainly wouldn't call it disrespectful. I've had nastier comments leveled at me on this board.Quote:

My point was there is no difference between a muslim, christian, or jewish right wing loony. Or an atheist one for that matter.
You all engage in soaring rhetoric, spew hate, and denigrate any who disagree with you. Because you are free you think you have arrived, and cannot see others are going through what we have been through.
What? We didn't spill blood along the way?
That's because you believe in moral equivalence . That is ;you see no difference between an individual act and riots and murder in multiple cities over an alleged slight. You see no difference between a Coptic Christian making a silly video and an undeclared policy of the government in power to exterminate Coptics or drive them out of the country .
And so he should be prosecuted, this is hate mail in whatever form, just because it is masquadering as art doesn't exempt it. Thing is the consequences of his comment has got people killed, making him an accessory to murder before the fact. Your anything goes policies reaps this sort of thing, but you aren't often the ones who pay the price, so yes your administration should decry the act and prosecute all the offenders this is justice, it may not be the american way but it is justice.Quote:

What I see is fundamentalist muslims stirring crap from propaganda, hatred and lies. Much like the white supremist who shot up the Sikh temple.Quote:

On the other hand you have clerics in multiple nations stirring up mob violence for political motives .
Sorry ;your equivalence doesn't work ;but I understand that it is that thinking that leads the President and his Sec State to apologize for our freedoms. .
Okay where is the link that shows Obama, and Clinton apologizing?
Tom your idea of freedom is wrong, freedom is not doing anything whether if offends anyoneelse or not, freedom is not suffering oppression, of being able to make reasonable decisions of how you will live within a community or alone. Freedom is not being a law unto yourself but living with respect for law and others.Quote:

Clete you don't know .These same hypocrites would tell you that a publicly funded art exhibit depicting a cross in urine ,or a dung-covered Madonna is freedom of expression . The ONLY difference is that Christians don't riot and murder over it. Their apology is not sincere . No not at all. Evita said "The U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others,"... "Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation" . You'll wait a long time before she ever apologized for the examples I just cited . It is the progressives who instead use taxpayer dollars to underwrite such outrages .
No ;their apology is a public display of weakness in an attempt at appeasement.
You didn't understand the meaning behind that?Quote:

Hillary Clinton's Statement on the Attack in Libya - Yahoo! News
Why can't you produce the apology, or stop repeating Mitts lies!
Tom you have no commitment to religious tolerance if you permit such offensive material in your midst. Religious tolerance means not deliberately offending any group, not allowing people to promolgate offensive material for profit, as I said you have the idea of freedom backwards, freedom is not freedom if you bully or tread down any group. Freedom is not a Scotsman on a hill showing his arse and shouting they will never take our freedomQuote:

As I have said I have noted that the muslims in the US are not protesing in a violent manner and yet we have to bear the consequences of your freedoms, you know what I say; B#ullshlt! Get your act together america,
No ,I don't understand a sacred Madonna surrounded by profane pronography ,female genitalia ,and elephant dung shaped in the image of cherubim and seraphim.I understand it is art .I understand it was offensive . I did not understand why it's exhibit was funded publicly .Quote:

There was instead a court case to prohibit the display using public funds... a case that was lost . So my tax dollars paid for the display of a blasphemy .
Perhaps since they have escaped the oppression of their society ,they understand freedom better than you .Quote:

No Tom unlike their brothers here they cower knowing what will happen to them if they dare do it there. You think our police response was brutal well I'm sure they understand that your national guard would subdue them probably with gunfire. Perhaps you didn't get the more militant type from Lebanon, Pakistan and Afghanistan there but we have them here, courtesy of a displacement that you instigated in your continuing war against Islam
